Description
A cross-site scripting vulnerability in VersionedRequestFilter has been found.
If an incoming user request should not be able to access the requested stage, an error message is created for display on the CMS login page that they are redirected to. In this error message, the URL of the requested page is interpolated into the error message without being escaped; hence, arbitrary HTML can be injected into the CMS login page.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for silverstripe/framework, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update silverstripe/framework to 3.3.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-mpqj-f4v3-334h is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Escape or sanitise the affected output on the server side rather than relying on client-side filtering, and add a Content-Security-Policy that blocks inline script execution so injected markup cannot run even if it reaches the page.
